Venezuelan leader falls from power

Today President Maduro of Venezuela has been removed from power. I am not in any way suggesting that this is good or bad, right or wrong, I have no opinion on the politics of this, I am simply observing the astrology. The people there seem to be celebrating.

With Uranus conjunction the Fixed Star Algol, we were expecting leaders to fall from power (and more to come). In addition, if we look at the chart for Venezuela set for September 22nd 1830 12.00 Caracas, transiting Neptune is exactly opposing the Sun (leader of the country) at 29° Virgo, suggesting that his power is dissolving right now – and remember that Neptune is only at 29° Pisces until January 26th. Neptune is also opposing the Midheaven (government), squaring the Moon at 29° Sagittarius which rules the 8th house of scandals, and this is in the 11th house of politics. Transiting Saturn is conjunction Mars in this chart, suggesting some militarisation being involved.
